7.3.0 – Ctrl+Fed+Delete
Say hello to smoother moderation and a proper goodbye to old accounts. ActivityPub for WordPress 7.3.0 lets you block, filter, and even fully delete your presence from the Fediverse—site-wide or user-by-user. Whether you’re cleaning house or just want more control, this update makes managing your Fediverse footprint easier than ever.

Bridging the gap
<p>The fediverse aims for a truly decentralized, interoperable social web, yet the landscape is still fragmented. Bridgy Fed helps close those gaps by letting ActivityPub-enabled WordPress sites form real two-way connections with networks like Bluesky. With the ActivityPub plugin activated, you can link your blog to Bluesky in a few clicks. After that, posts, follows, likes, and replies flow natively between the two worlds.</p>

@snarfed.org should fed.brid.gy unfollow if I send an "Undo > Follow" (Unfollow)?

@snarfed.org does the bluesky bridge support upserts (fall back to create if an update was not tracked before)? Do I have to do something special to federate with the bridge? Do you see some errors of Notiz.blog in the logs?

i agree with needing a bds, spent half of last night just getting social login wired up for bluesky because while the libraries are there the documentation is still really thin!

Matthias, I wrote this up, and am going to post it widely, it's really time this existed. I've been asking for it for many months, many times.

is there a "busy developers guide" for building a simple #PDS?

Or maybe someone has already started with a #PHP implementation?
